Alright, so I just got this 1955 Customline 4dr V8. I'm not much into fords, but this was my great uncle David's that he bought brand new, and I actually like this one. But Shortly after buying it, he was killed in a car accident in his work truck, so the car has sat for a little over 60 years. Now, over time, the car has been shot, and rust has taken almost every inch of flooring. If you put seats it it, they sit on the ground. And the hood hasn't been opened in 60 years; it's totally rusted shut. Nonetheless, I'm still going to restore it. Now here's the kicker, I'm only 18, and still in school, AND frame off restoring a 1968 GMC suburban at the moment. My question is, where is the best, and cheapest place to order parts? Like the floors and wiring and just about everything else on the car. Haha. Any help would be appreciated.
